This GoPro Video Makes You a Lightsaber-Swinging Jedi

Admit it: As a kid, you imagined being a Jedi, slicing your way through Stormtroopers to save the day. Maybe you even pulled a Star Wars Kid and got a little too into the daydream. Now, though, you can see exactly what it would look like to go into battle as Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi, thanks to this great video.

Bill Parker made the clip by wearing a GoPro as he moved around a barren, rocky landscape. He then overlaid the footage with simulated Star Wars technologymasterfully fought his way through a barrage of Stormtroopers, used the force to tear apart a TIE fighter, and blew up a totally real Imperial walker.
